Two
lanes of traffic to be restored on State Route 7 Monday at University Boulevard

JEFFERSON COUNTY – Two lanes of traffic
are set to be restored for the winter on State Route 7 at University Boulevard in
Steubenville on Monday, December 11th.

Traffic will be switched, and two lanes restored
in each direction but major traffic delays are expected all day during the work
due to existing line removals, new pavement markings, and signs that will need
to be installed.

Motorists are asked to be patient and
use an alternate route to avoid delays on Monday.

Work
remaining next year on the $10 million access improvement project,
includes:

Remove, lower, and reconstruct the northbound lanes of SR 7 expected to start in early March

Finish pouring concrete on the Connector Rd.

Pour concrete on Labelle Ave. at the new signal location

Build the new traffic signals throughout the project

Work at Franklin Ave. and SR 7 for raised median and asphalt work

Two phases are left to remove and replace the concrete at University Blvd. and SR 7. Both phases will include 14-day closures of University Blvd.
